2. About FEDRA
FEDRA is a tool to design of masonry buildings, according to Eurocode 6, EN 1996-11:2005. The concrete floors and columns, are designed according to Eurocode 2, and the
timber roof according to Eurocode 5. The seismic loads are defined as static horizontal
loads, with a reverse triangular distribution. For the floors it is assumed that they act as
horizontal stiff diaphragms.
A complete report is produced, with analytical computations and drawings for the floor
plans and reinforcement.
The program contains an easy to use drawing package where you can define the building
and the properties of the building elements.
The expert system, built in the program does an automatic topology recognition of the
structure of the building and produces automatically the structural model, with automatic
load transferring, and mesh generations.
Notice although, that no matter how advanced and easy the program is to use, in no case
the experience, knowledge and the opinion of the engineer can be replaced in a design. The
program is a tool which helps the engineer to obtain results for complicated structures. The
designer engineer should not forget that he has to understand, and interpret correctly the
results of the program.
